We are an entitled society
yes we are,
we’ve been told,
acknowledged,
been forced to accept
our need for …
validation and anyone gets in my way
I will mow you down in a heartbeat
and bury your soul in the ashes.

borne out of the reams
of sympathetic scrutiny …
or is this a hypocrisy that no matter
how we try to be good to one another,
someone will slam your face without fail
Ah springtime is ahead,
the temperatures glean
our need for warmth
for delightful walks,
and summer bike rides
all shared with each other …

Where did we find ourselves accepting a society
that rather than earn allows a continuum’s whine.
